Nearly 4,000 people were handed £200 ($250) fines for not wearing masks on London’s public transport system during the UK’s lockdown.
Reports that thousands of people in London received fines for simply not wearing a mask in the right place are likely not coming at an opportune time for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who faced renewed calls for his resignation after the release of theinto the so-called “Partygate” scandal into widespread COVID rulebreaking in No 10 Downing Street.
While Boris Johnson has already been fined by the police once in relation to breaking his own anti-Chinese Coronavirus measures, the report could result in even more pressure being put on his premiership, as opponents chomp at the bit to call for him to resign his position afterof the Conservative Party bigwig emerged which appeared to show him apparently flouting rules.
“Here we have a photograph which looks like the Prime Minister caught red-handed, breaking the rules,” said London Mayor Sadiq Khan after images of the PM at a party in late 2020 were recently leaked by the press. The leftist politician went on to demand that his own city’s police force explain why Johnson wasn’t fined more than once for what appeared to him to be multiple transgressions.
“There clearly was a party – he was raising his glass, there were empty wine bottles there,” he said. “I think the police should be explaining how they reached their conclusions, that’s the right thing for them to do.”
